Building Safe Futures: Solutions to end childhood sexual violence

“Building Safe Futures: Solutions to end childhood sexual violence” is a comprehensive evidence review highlighting what works to prevent and respond to childhood sexual violence in low- and middle-income countries. This report was published by Safe Futures Hub – a joint initiative of Together for Girls, WeProtect Global Alliance, and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI).

This research provides critical guidance for investments, legislative action, policy development, and program implementation to reduce the prevalence and impact of childhood sexual violence. It ensures that advocates, policymakers, and frontline workers worldwide can access, adapt, and apply effective solutions to end this crisis.

With input and endorsement from 24 leading violence prevention organizations across the globe and with the support of Oak Foundation, the systematic review of evidence updates previous reviews and profiles effective ways to end childhood sexual violence. It screens and classifies dozens of interventions using the INSPIRE framework, and offers insights for program implementation and further research.
